What are the saddest songs that you know of. The top 3 for me are:
The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice
Black by Pearl Jam
He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones
All three of these songs make me cry uncontrollably. Sometimes for a couple of days after hearing one of them. π’π’π’π’
Cascada What Hurts The Most
Adele someone like you
Enya only time
Jimmy Somverville wrote 'For A Friend' after the death of his friend and gay rights activist, Mark Ashton, and it is such an emotionally moving song.

George Jones song oh yes!
I will add Gary Jules cover of Tears For Fear's
"Mad World".
And "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam
These are my three for now
Bruce Springsteen - Stolen Car
Lou Reed - Sad Song
Bob Dylan - Most of the Time

Not sad but moving.
Listened to this on the dreary, drizzly day as we spread my dad's ashes in his favorite fishing spot, a remote lake in the north woods.
